Probably not the "correct" way to do it. If you have friends / family in Oz just get it sent to them and forward it to you from there . Done it myself and haven't had any problems.

Unfortunately they are quite different to a tikka bolt handle, there are plenty of nz options for tikkas :(

You don't néed to over complicate angles. Put the knife on the stone at 90 degrees, tilt it halfway. Now you are at 45, half the angle again and start sharpening. It really doesn't need to be...

yes all good...stoning you definately better off with correct angle,steeling is less sensitive but the more constant the better I believe. I have wee lanski set that set angles...I get it out and...

What I meant was getting the angle right for any individual knife as in 17deg, 20deg 25deg. I can work out 90deg and 45deg but below 45 I can't workout. Also I'm far sighted so I can't see the blades...

I've bought the small rabbiters style Edgington steel. Guy in the shop believed it would be great for my Victory knives. I had a play with it, works great on my victory and Knifekut knives, but a bit...

A stone to sharpen and a steel to keep it sharp. Can't speak for the leather strop as I've never used one, maybe I'm too young.....but I'm guessing it does the same as the steel. An extra fine edge...
